PROJECT TITLE: DESIGN AND IMPLEMANTATION OF AN AUTOMATIC PROTECTION
SYSTEM AGAINST VOLTAGE FLACTUATIONS FOR DOMESTIC APPLIANCES.
PROJECT TYPE: PROBLEM SOLVING
PROJECT SUPERVISOR: MR. NDOLA
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Normally electrical appliances are designed according to the operating
voltage of the specific country. In our country, normal operating range
of voltage is 230 ± 5% (210V-242V) for single phase and 380V-415V
for three phase systems. Due to various reasons, our domestic
appliances find themselves working under or above normal operating
voltage. During restoration of power after power outage, sudden
increase of voltage can cause power surge which has potential to
damage any plugged in appliance and devices that do not protected.
Also under voltage that mostly caused by load imbalance can result to
the damage of the appliance especially inductive one. So to avoid
damage in our domestics, an Automatic protection system against
voltage fluctuations will be used to ensure safety of the appliance and
devices in our domestics.
OBJECTIVES
Main objective of this project is to prevent domestics electrical
appliances against damage which mostly caused over and under voltage
of the line.
• Specific objective
a) To identify appliances to be protected
b) To program microcontroller for controlling purpose
c) To build prototype
d) To test prototype
METHODOLOGY
